The Box Office PodcastEp. 68 - Death Kills At Box OfficeBrandon Peters stops by to discuss what went right with a legacy sequel that didn’t sell itself as one. Topics covered included how WBD marketed a follow-up 14 years later without depending on existing fandoms, the idea that Final Destination may be the best Hollywood slasher franchise from the post-Scream era, and why the franchise’s consistent quality (rarely great but seldom terrible) has contributed to its ongoing popularity. Everyone concurred that AMC’s initiative to offer 50% discounts on movie tickets on Wednesdays is a positive step toward making moviegoing more casual again. Get full access to The Ou...

The Box Office PodcastEp. 58 - 'Mickey' Is Not So Fine (x17)There wasn’t all that much to discuss this weekend beyond the circumstances of Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17 opening with just $19 million in North America. But since we have a whole show to fill, Brandon Peters (veteran podcaster and film pundit and longtime friend of Scott Mendelson) stopped in to sort through the carnage. Among other topics are…- Robert Pattinson’s limited drawing power- The challenges of getting moviegoers to take a chance on a movie at the theatrical level that isn’t pre-sold, pre-digested or based on something they liked- A COVID-era pattern of Warner Bros. being expected t...
2025-03-131h 04The Brandon Peters ShowJames Bond Will Return with Scott Mendelson & Aaron Neuwirth
Some news occurred in the recent weeks that struck a pretty hard cord in the film nerd circles. Barbara Broccoli & Michael G. Wilson have agreed to relinquish all creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon. A once protected and family owned cinematic operation would now be in the hands of the corporate overlord…or Blofeld owns Bond if you think about it.
What would this mean? Will we see our greatest fears realized? Scott Mendelons, Aaron Neuwirth and I take a break from recording the upcoming The Summer of 2015 at 10 to talk about what makes Bo...

The Box Office PodcastEp. 56: James Bond Faces 'Monkey' Trouble in The AmazonBrandon Katz of The Observer and Parrot Analytics serves as our special “fourth participant” with whom we discuss how badly Marvel has messed up (or been undermined by corporate overlords) in the post-Avengers: Endgame transition to Disney+ television, why The Monkey is performing well outside of comparisons to breakouts like Longlegs and M3GAN and whether Amazon MGM Studios will unnecessarily interfere with the established James Bond formula or dilute the brand through streaming offshoots.

The Box Office PodcastEp. 50 - The Butler Did It, With Brandon StreussnigIn what was the first “new” weekend of 2025, Den of Thieves 2 opened seven years after its predecessor with an almost identical amount of money in North America. For the special occasion, The Box Office Podcast welcomed the one and/or only Brandon Streussnig to discuss Vulture’s third annual “Stunt Awards” along with Gerard Butler’s B-level stardom, the nuanced politics of seemingly simplistic grindhouse fare and the key difference between knowing what’s wrong and knowing who or what is to blame.Yes, there is plenty of box office punditry, including an extended fist-bump for the continued slow...

As I continue to work on The Summer of ’93 at 30 and prepped it for release in May, I’m taking a few weeks off which means – enjoy these Out Now With Aaron And Abe commentaries we recorded the past few months.
We are currently amidst a series of them called “I Love LA”. These are focused on cop action movies from 4 decades: the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. This is the concluding entry in the series, looking at Michael Mann’s Tom Cruise/Jamie Fox neo noir thriller COLLATERAL!

Putting the finishing touches on our Tim Burton retrospective, Scott and I discuss (with spoilers) the smash hit Netflix show Wednesday. Burton directed the first 4 episodes and was an involved producer on the final four.
It’s an interesting conversation that covers the Burton aspect, but also shines on the streaming discussion, IPs and Jenna Ortega blossoming into a potential big star with the great year she’s had.
I’m going to be going on a bit of a break, so this will do it for now. I’ll be returning in a few weeks an...
2022-12-261h 01The Brandon Peters ShowA Muppet Family Christmas (1987) with Pres Maxson
I enjoy doing a special holiday episode to surrender to the season. This year’s episode was actually foreshadowed during the Almost Heroes episode back in February. So, as promised – Here is Pres and here are the Muppets!
This special aired in 1987, but due to it having a crossover with the Fraggles, Sesame Street and the Muppet Babies and those rights eventually dispersing under different banners…it could no longer be sold or aired in its original form.
This is a wonderful little conversation that goes over this delightful special as well as a nostalgia for th...

Scott and I end things with some reflection, our favorites, not so favorite and overlooked ones here before we head into our Wednesday discussion next week.

2022-12-121h 29The Brandon Peters ShowTim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Five with Scott Mendelson
In this episode, we watch as Tim bounces back from the quality failing that was Planet of the Apes. We’ll see him with Oscar hopes, more animation and a film that was much liked when it came out and holds up quite well, yet has gathered a reputation for being poor in the past decade or so. This was another invigorating conversation with Scott as this series has proven very fun.

2022-06-2745 minThe Brandon Peters ShowThe Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: June 25-27, 1982
June 25-27, 1982: One of the biggest weekends for film geek and genre culture arrives this week. Despite their popularity and legacy, none of them were that well received or did much work at the box office. We have BLADE RUNNER, JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING, cult classic MEGAFORCE and the always funny Monty Python in LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL. What a very loaded weekend with lots of favorites and we have room for it all!

2022-06-201h 27The Brandon Peters ShowLIVE! with The Kinda Nerdy Girls & James T. Wulfgar at PopCon 2022
Running the podcast stage, everything doesn’t go too smoothly all the time. For instance, I had a few shows scheduled to perform that didn’t show up. What happens then? I provide “filler”. And I have some of the best people to help me out with that when I’m at PopCon.
What is included in this bonus PopCon episode is some banter with a few folks. The first set includes John Bottorff and Katie Ayres Schrock from the Kinda Nerdy Girls podcast. You’ll remember their fearless leader KJ graced The Brandon Peters Show last year when we...

June 18-20, 1982: Annie opens wide and we cover this big old school musical throwback properly. Two big stars do what they do best as Al Pacino stars in a Kramer Vs. Kramer knock off called Author! Author! and Clint Eastwood stars in a stealth Cold War spy thriller Firefox. Can any of them hold their own against ET?

Oh I have been dying to talk about Asia’s “Heat of the Moment ” since The Brandon Peters Show began. And now I find myself in 82, and sure as hell, it’s a hit song during the summer.
Mike Vanderbilt is back on board to talk about the song, the video and to hear me give some life anecdotes about this tune. Did you know Asia had the top selling record of 1982? Well, now you do!

June 11-13, 1982: We arrive at the summer’s highest profile success story as well as its highest profile bomb. Steven Spielberg’s E.T. – The Extraterrestrial captured the hearts and imagination of the nation. And Grease 2 dropped off the planet almost instantly upon arrival. But, has it been unfairly maligned after 40 years in the doghouse? Listen in!

May 28-30, 1982: A stacked week that sees possibly our biggest release yet as Sylvester Stallone drops Rocky III upon us featuring Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” that would climb the charts later in the summer. William Shatner and Lee Grant try not to be killed by slasher Michael Ironside in Visiting Hours. Raul Julia and Desi Arnez play father and son in The Escape Artist. And John Russo cashes in some Night of the Living Dead clout with Midnight, featuring special effects by Tom Savini.

May 21-23, 1982: Our third week sees us covering a film that was very tough to find; the Tom Skerritt Death Wish inspired Fighting Back. Steven Martin and Carl Reiner experiment a bit with the goofy and charming Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. And, one of the most beloved films from the summer, action classic The Road Warrior gets our showering praise.

The Summer of ’82 at 40 is a weekly retrospective journey through American pop culture during May, June, July and August of 1982. Brandon Peters and Forbes’ Scott Mendelson take a weekend by weekend look at the films released during the summer as well as the news stories, television and music that rounded out the public’s lives as they lined the pockets of the box office to see these movies.
May 7-9, 1982: Our opening week sees 3 films of the “rip off, don’t remake” variety that not many probably remember. The Stockard Channing/David Carradine/Christopher Lee Cannonball Run-inspired Safari 3000...

With the release of Uncharted, we decided to set our sites for another adventure movie that was a hopeful franchise starter from an IP – 2005’s Sahara! Now, funny enough, Scott Mendelson and I are fans of this movie. Aaron Neuwirth, he’s a recent convert, too. Have a listen as we talk about McConaughey for the first time on a commentary track.

2022-02-222h 13The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “Pressure” by Billy Joel with Scott Mendelson
When it comes to artists that consistently went all in and produced provocative, memorable and big theatrical music videos, Billy Joel was one of the tops. Beyond having an incredible assembly of amazing, timeless songs, the man put together a great library of music videos as well.
“Pressure” is also one of the bigger, stand out videos in the early days of MTV as well. It’s one that calls back to Kubrick, The Parallax View and The Marathon Man among other films. Scott Mendelson rejoins as we talk about the video as well as veer off on dis...
2021-09-1719 minThe Brandon Peters Show16 Blocks (2006) with Scott Mendelson
We’ve reached the 1 year milestone here on The Brandon Peters Show. Fitting enough, I’ve chosen to bring back the original guest, Forbes’ Scott Mendelson, to cap it all off! Has the show evolved or changed a lot since the first episode dropped? I’m sure it has, but you tell me.
Scott and I are discussing the final film of the recently departed Richard Donner this week. 16 Blocks is a film that came and went and largely was forgotten. It’s been one that has stuck with Scott and I. We are quite high on it. It’s a...
2021-09-131h 04The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “Sweet Surrender” by Sarah McLachlan with Scott Mendelson
Here’s a little fun fact, returning guest Scott Mendelson is a big Sarah McLachlan fan! I specifically picked this week’s music video out with him in mind. And it was a more difficult task as Sarah McLachlan doesn’t quite sink her teeth into deep music videos too much.
“Sweet Surrender” is easily her most interesting in both visuals and storytelling. It’s also a point of controversy as the director chose to go Alan Smithee on it. There’s all that and more in this week’s Closing with a Song segment.

My original guest for the show, Forbes writer Scott Mendelson returns for the first time proper (AKA not a commentary track). And while not a “favorite” film per se, the second Angelina Tomb Raider adventure has had a significant resonance in his lingo if you’re a follower of his box office reporting.
Scott coined the term “The Tomb Raider Trap” and has been using it since I met him back in the mid 2000s. Now, ask any serious film writer or reader and they know what you’re talking about. The term refers to The Cradle of Life and...
